What Causes Foaming In Mouth While Sleeping?
My daughter is 7 years old and is asthmatic. She had been recently foaming at the mouth when she sleeps. Not much but enough. Her breathe smells a lil bad. No fever. Was recently taking amoxicilian for strep throat. Appetite is normal. She also takes deep breathes some times in her a Sleep. She tends to sleep better laying on her side.

Hi...your symptoms fit into text description of upper airway resistance syndrome or sleep disordered breathing. i am sure she would have been snoring during sleep too. She will definitely get better with intranasal steroids. I suggest you consult your pediatrician with this tip.
